1962 Map of Canton

About this map

Canton serves as the focal point of this Van Zandt County landscape, showing the town's expansion and infrastructure during the early 1960s with 1980s updates. The mapping reveals a transition from traditional rural patterns to more modern development, evidenced by the Filtration Plant and Sewage Disposal sites near City Lake. The area's resource-based economy is highlighted by the Fruitvale Oil Field to the north, while the rural character is maintained through scattered landmarks like Wynn Sch and the Little Hope-Moore Community Center.
